My first Reva and honestly I expected more. I like the “restraint” of the vintage but just left me wondering what all the fuss is about

Obviously not as big and bold as other vintages but solid winemaking so count me as a fan still.
The word "restrained" rarely applies to Alban but this vintage may come close...

Aug 26th, 2015Beautiful wine. Tasting outstanding. Dark purple fruits and berries, olive brine, dried flowers, cured meat. Its dry lingering finish of fruit and olive just lingers. This is great with 3 hours of air. So glad to have gotten this bottle. Rhone ranger!!! Probably has another 5+ years of evolution in it, maybe more.
